There has been some discussion on XTREE and one of its 'faults/features':
The fact that it scans the entire disk before presenting the structure,
which can take a long time.
If you want to save time and isolate one directory structure, use SUBST:
subst y: \dirname
xtree y:
XTREE pops up in a flash, only scanning \dirname. Very handy. This is
for DOS 3.x users only, and you should have a line in config.sys that reads
lastdrive=z
This will give you 26 logical drives for easy SUBSTitution.

With all this discussion of XTREE and Norton Commander, I just wanted to ask: Does anybody else out there use QDOSII? (Plug) I use it all the time. It stores a log of your HD so that it doesn't have to scan the disk every time. It has a built in editor and all the other things you expect. BEST: it is fast! Cris
